PERKINS, ing device be arranged upon the lamp-forint of Meriden, in the county of New Haven and outside the rod, then access tothe rod is made State of Connecticut, have invented a new difcult and inconvenient. 55 5 Improvement in Shade-Holders; andldo here- The object of my invention is to construct by declare the following, when taken in c0nthe support for the shade-holder so that it nection with the accompanying drawings and may embrace the body of the burner or neck the letters of reference marked thereon, to bea of the fount into which the burner sets, and full, clear, and exact description of the same, Without interference with the adj listing-rod. 60

1o and which said drawings constitute part ot' To this end my invention consists in a ring this specification, and represent, inconstructed to surround the body of the burner Figure l, a side view of the upper portion or neck of the fount, with an extension thereof the i'ount and burner with the shade-holder from radially at one side, with an opening arranged thereon; Fig. 2, a top view f the through said extension corresponding to the 65 r 5 fount, the burner removed, showing the shadesaid rod, and so that the ring may be set to ring in place, full size; Fig. 3, a perspective its place around the burner and over the rod, View of the ring detached, looking from the said ring provided with supports or arms above; Fig. 4, an under side View ofthe ring; to carry the shade or globe, as more fully Fig. 5, a section cutting across the projection hereinafter described.

2o d on line m rc,- Eig. 6, a side View of the wick, The base of the holder is in the form ofa showing its connection with the wick-adjustring,a. Around its inner edgeis an upwardly ing rod. projecting flange, b, the' internal diameter of This invention relates to an improvement the ring and ilange being such as to embrace in the construction of shade or globe holders the body of the burner or the neck or collar 7 5 adapted to be removably attached to the lamp, E of the l'ount. At one point in the ring a and with special reference to the lamp comradial projection, d, is formed, in which is an monlyknownin themarket as the Rochester opening, c, of sui'iicient extent to set over the Lamp.7 This lamp is of Argand character, rod D and permit the free working- Ol" the the Wick adjustment being by means ofa'verrod through such opening. (See Fig. 2.) 8o

3o tical rod which extends down outside the Preferably this extension is made in height burner into the body of the lamp, and at its corresponding to the flange b, and so that its lower end secured to a ring which embraces sides form a continuation ofthe flange, open and holds the lower end of the wick, and so from the under side, as seen in Figs. 4 and 5, that as the rod is raised or lowered the wick and so as to form a recess, f, su rrounding the is adjusted accordingly, the wick and rod opening e, the said recess adapted to embrace moving together. or set over the tubular projection F, formed The construction referred to is seen in Fig. on the fount, through which the rod works. 1,in which A represents the lamp-forint; B,the From the ring arms g extend radially outbody of the burner; C C, the chimney-'holding ward and upward, preferably three in number, 9o

4o springs; D, the wickadjust`ing rod, which is and terminate in a suitable shape to support arranged vertically outside the burner, and so the shade or globe. 'By this construction the as to be moved up and down in a line parallel base of the holder is brought close up to the with the vertical axis of the burner. In this body of the burner, and so as to leave the method of adjustment the rod is attached to a wick-adjusting rod substantially as free as if 95 ring atits lower end, the ring being adapted the shadeholder were not present.
